Three Drops of Blood by Gretchen McNeil
Some Hitchcock mixed with a little Shakespeare and a Hollywood scandal combine for a book that kept me on the edge of my seat!

Kate accidentally lands a starring role in a Netflix show her friend dragged her to an audition. Things are going well until a scandal rocks the production, forcing her to take an office job. She starts working in “the dungeon” at her best friend’s father’s law office, filing paperwork. There’s a giant window, but no cell service, and she is extremely bored until she sees some things going on in the building across the way.

There’s some murders, a catty ex co-star, a sweet young man who she’s rebuffed in the past, and a best friend who has some issues to work out with her. When no one believes what she saw in the window because there’s no evidence, what can she do?

There were twists that surprised me, turns that had me rooting so hard for her, and relevant Shakespeare scenes to lead the way! I read this one in less than a day and I promise it’ll be a great weekend read for anyone who loves a good mystery with a great heroine!
